Uncomfortable

[Jack Lupus]

“I do the fighting.” Frank growled a little, protective of his alpha. He relaxed quickly though, shaking his head. He liked this ‘Wolf; wouldn’t mind him as a brother. The female he wasn’t so thrilled about, but they seemed to be a package deal. Well, if he could put up with Xander and Carrie, he could deal with her. Besides, he hadn’t enjoyed a decent fight since Jack had left the pack. It would be fun to have a ‘Wolf who liked a good rumble in the pack again. “But we have dog fights pretty often. They’re fun; you should come.”

“I’m Frank,” He didn’t offer his hand or anything so human, just met the other male’s eyes. Letting him know who was dominant. “Cassie’s second.”

[Shay Loran]

"Oktavain. Beta male from Sabor's pack in California. Now, nothing." Oktavain introduced himself back, letting the other male show dominance. Then he grinned. "I'd love to come to a dog fight." He smirked. He'd love to get into a nice big battle. Just for the hell of it again! Rumble, throw each other around, tear into one another! It'd be great. He grinned at Konstance, who only glowered.

"Yeah, yeah yeah. You go to it, you're giving an excuse to Venetta and Charles." She said.
"But you won't rat?" Oktavian teased.
Konstance shook her head with a shrug.

[Jack Lupus]

“She always like this?” Frank asked good naturedly, grinning. They’d be good for each other. Oktavian could help set a better example for the pack members with more human tendencies – his mind flashed to a particular ‘Wolf- and they could help him blend in better with the humans. More than that, Frank would actually get to fight again.

He frowned slightly, sobering. He was being selfish, putting his own amusement before what was best for the pack. Besides, it wasn’t his place to be inviting strays to pack parties. Cass didn’t normally care, but it would be just his luck to catch her in a bad mood. But Oktavian could be good for the pack, he just had to get Cass to see it too. He grinned again, shaking his head. The thought never occurred to him that they might not want to be pack.

“If you two aren’t busy, we could meet up with Cass at the park. Get everyone acquainted.”

[Shay Loran]

Konstance raised her eyebrows, "No thanks, not-" Oktavain cut her off. "We'd appreciate that." He said, shooting Konstance a glare that said he was going to be polite, and she was too. That, and she wasn't f**k**g up his chances to get in a good rumble with her mouth.
Konstance just glared at him. "Yeah. Whatever." She mumbled.

[Jack Lupus]

“You don’t have to come, if you don’t want.” Frank looked down at the girl who he belatedly realized hadn’t told him her name. Now, the female he could see fitting in more with Jack’s friends, the ones that only showed their lycan blood when they lost their temper or sprouted fur and Changed. Domesticated. Shit, Jack himself was dating a human. Some people had no pride. “No one’s twisting your arm.”

[Shay Loran]

Konstance glared at Frank. "Shut up, I'll come if he goes, and I'll tear out every pretty little hair on your head if you talk to me like that again." She snapped.
Oktavain raised a brown, "Are you on your period?" He complained.
"If I was, I'd be ripping both your heads off by now.. Why would you ask me that?" Konstance snapped again.
Oktavain shrugged, "You're usually only this bitchy when you're on your period, that's all."
"I'm. Going. To. KILL. You." She replied through clenched teeth.
"Okay! Okay! Geezus, calm down Konstance. Wouldn't want to roll here." Oktavain glared.
"Yes, we'll save that until we get home." She agreed.
"Good, no throwing sharp objects this time, clean fight."
"I'm a woman. I'm going to throw SOMETHING at you."
Oktavain burst into laughter. "THAT'S true."

[Jack Lupus]

“Hear that?” Frank smirked, glancing between Konstance and Oktaian. “Called me pretty. I think she likes me.” He’d never seen any girls fight outside of the one-sided initiations. But Konstance had a short enough temper, maybe if he pissed her off enough. Ha. He’d hate to see what Patience would have to say about that. He grinned, starting off towards the park. “Come along, puppies.”

[Shay Loran]

<sup>Konstance fumed in silence, until he said she had called him pretty. "Oh please. Figure of speech, and if anyone ever called you pretty and meant it, I'd have to wonder what mental illness they were diagnosed with." She snapped. All the same, she followed a long to the Park, behind Oktavain. She was unwilling to let him do something alone, who knew what kind of stupid shit he could get himself in to if no one was watching him. He was feral, he was based on instincts of the predator, not the mind like a human. Perhaps that was what made some lycans demistcated. The ability to think and act, being able to consciously make decisions, to brew over them.. Versus wolves that have spent their enire lives learning to hunt, and kill with beastile instincts. It was a nice perspective, at the very least.

Oktavain didn't seem to notice Konstance brewing up on her little temper tantrum, he was more or less focused on following Frank, because he was definitely in the mood to fight. "So, don't get my hopes up, am I going to get my teeth into someone or not?" He growled, but it was a freindly growl, in which he was grinning with canines pointing off almost every tooth.

Konstance sighed audibly in the background. He was being ridiculous.</sup>

[Jack Lupus]

“If you’re good.” Frank smirked over his shoulder at the two, deciding the best course of action would be to ignore Konstance. Especially if Patience happened to be at the park. “Maybe even if you aren’t.”

Given a choice, Frank would rather fight Oktavian as a friend than as an enemy. Tussles within the pack were always more fun- if for the bragging rights alone. “Try to stay on Cass’ good side.”

He looked directly at Konstance. “You get brownie points for being full-bloods, but that doesn’t mean you can mouth off to her.”

[Shay Loran]

Konstance glared, "I'm not the one you need to worry about respecting status." She nodded her head towards her cousin, but she was cooling off, even though she really didn't like Frank. She might even like to beat the hell out of him, but she wasn't willing to take her wolf form to do it. Maybe she'd just bash his head in with a cast iron skillet. That was always fun.

Oktavain sighed, "I'll be on my best behavior. Let's just do this." He complained.

[Jack Lupus]

“Yeah, yeah. Keep your panties on.” Frank rolled his eyes, crossing the street before glancing around the park. Her car was there so , theoretically, she should be too. He grumbled, heading towards the woods without a word to the two following him. If she was running around on all fours while he was doing grunt work, he was going to be pissed.

“Frank,” Cass called, buttoning her pants as she crawled through the thick vegetation that grew at the edge of the woods. She straightened, wiping her hands on her jeans and plucking a leaf out of her hair before looking over the new comers. “You made friends.”

[Evlyn Montgomary]

"I thought the deal was that you were going to report back here. Alone." Patience said snippily. She was in a foul mood, having spent most of the day watching Cass and Xander enjoy themselves around the park and forest. She hadn't even been allowed to go check up with Frank, a painful reminder of her low status as a changed werewolf. Frank had important work to do for the pack, Cass had said, with her ever constant sneer.

She was also angry about having to deal with more Lycans. She was already rather annoyed with the ones she knew- Frank included about half the time- and didn't want to meet more stuck up snobs that thought that a person's birth decided what worth they were as people.

"Welcome back, Frank." she said in her normal cool, pragmatic voice, waiting to see if her on-and-off boyfriend would acknowledge her in front of full blooded lycans.

[Jack Lupus]

“Cassie, this is Konstance and Oktavian.” Frank shot Patience a warm glance, trying to let her know that he’d heard her but had to take care of business first. He turned back to his charges briefly, grinning roughly. “Oktavian’s from a feral pack.”

“Is he now?” Cass smiled, stepping a little closer towards the Lycans. “It’s nice to finally meet the two of you.”

Frank sighed as he walked towards Patience, glad to finally get away. “Miss me?”

[Evlyn Montgomary]

"I did..." patiience grumbled, her mood growing darker. "But now I wish you'd just leave again."

Xander stepped up behind Cass, not even bothering to throw a shirt on, a small grin on his face as he looked over the two newcomers.

[Shay Loran]

Konstance kept her face blank, her mind assessing the situation. She was not an important figure here, but it was obvious that a couple of people had been f**k**g around before they got there. She wondered breifly, if lycans were considered horn-dogs. Eh, it wasn't her problem. She didn't give a damn what the pack did on their own time, in fact, as far as she was concerned, they could all go f**k themselves if they decided spontaniously to hate her. She really didn't give a damn of anyone elses opinion.

Oktavain grinned, that charming smile that always spread across his lips. Not that he was trying to seduce any woman, he definitely wasn't. However, he couldn't help the way he smiled. He pressed his lips together, assessing the wolves around him as surely as they were doing to him. "Yes, I am feral. I was born and raised in a pack in northern cali; Sabor Shadow was my father, and my alpha, and I, his beta. Or, "Second" as you seem to call it here." It was common for him to explain his heritage, he wasn't bragging. It just helped to express.

[Jack Lupus]

“What the hell for?” Frank growled, not amused at being bitched at after such an awful day.

“My dad’s an alpha, too.” Cass grinned back at him, looking him over again. At least he was pretty and it would be nice to be able to talk to someone who cared about pack besides Frank for a change. “But that was in Texas. We moved up here a while ago.”

“It’s rude not to introduce yourself.” Cass gently chided Xander, not looking back at him.

[Evlyn Montgomary]

"Because you brought new people, and you didn't say hi." Patience crossed her arms. "Because you left me with them all day and don't even have the decency to kiss me hello."

"sorry, cassie." Xander blushed a little, not taking his eyes off the two new 'Wolves. "I'm Xander Dean. Pleasure." he grinned slightly, but worried if the two should really be there. They were pure bloods, which scored them points with Cassie, but the female seemed a little too tight laced for the group/ And it was obvious the male was following her lead. It was a pity; he seemed like a good addition to their pack.

[Shay Loran]

Oktavain nudged Konstance, "Yeah, it's rude, cousin." He said through his teeth. He grinned at Cassie, "I'm sure your father was a better leader than my own." He said and meant every word of it. Oktavain's father Sabor was a son of a b*tch. He respected his father as a parent, but never anything more. Sabor had killed Oktavain's mother the night she was born, he had raised Oktavain as nothing to make him the strongest. It was.. difficult, to feel attachment to a lycan that only claimed you when he was proud of your acheivements.

Konstance rubbed the back of her neck, then ran a hand through the mass of black curls, her silver eyes skimming every one quickly. Then, they returned to Cass, and she smiled. Not her usual bright, honest, child like smile. It was a cautious, guarded smile, but it was still friendly. "I'm Konstance Blythe, pleasure to meet you." She said.

[Jack Lupus]

“I wouldn’t bet money on it.” Cass laughed, relaxing a little despite herself. Well, maybe her father was a good alpha, if a little strict, but Cassandra had nothing but complaints when it came to the way she was brought up. She brought her attention back to Konstance and returned the smile. “What brings you to Cold Creek?”

“Hi,” Franks sighed before kissing her cheek. “My day wasn’t all skipping and lollipops, either.”

[Shay Loran]

"Parents." Konstance shrugged, since she was only seventeen and still a minor in the majority of the world. She didn't want to be rude, but she wasn't exactly looking to get into the pack. She wasn't looking to act like a wolf at all.. She prefered human.

Oktavain grinned. "Never know." He shrugged. He obviously did have thoughts of joining the pack, if they would give him a chance to. He was very interested in being able to be around others of his own kind, working in union again as wolves rather than pretending to be a happy normal human family living among humans.
